PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — If you've ever wanted to live in the old Brooklyn home of a notorious gangster, you've got a chance to do it. The Park Slope home where Al Capone used to live is up for sale, and it will only cost you a cool $2.5 million to move in. Capone grew up in a nearby building on Garfield Place, according to realtor.com, and moved into this listing in the early 1900s. "If he had lived here today, he wouldn’t have to go into the rum-running business," listing agent Bren Salamon told Patch . That's because Capone could make some serious dough from the two rental units attached to the condo, which could bring in a pretty penny in 2017 Park Slope . Anyone who moves in, though, won't be looking at any old relics of Brooklyn gone by. The home, as many are in the borough these days, was completely renovated by an investor about a year ago. The main townhouse is 2, 980 square feet spread over two levels. Along with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, t...

A clever design and smart choice of materials helped to make this small apartment appear more spacious than it actually is. Who: A couple in their 30s, and their pet dog Home: A four- room HDB BTO apartment in Clementi Size: 990sqf Homeowners today are increasingly savvy in exploring design ideas . For newlyweds Robertson and Joanne Tay, they were sure of the look they wanted for their matrimonial home, which led to them meeting Ivan O, creative director of IDISID, through a friend's recommendation. Much to the designer's delight, the couple came prepared with a digital library of ideas, which they had collated from websites like Pinterest. This helped to move the discussion along and provided the designer with a good reference of the style they wanted. "We wanted a bright and airy home, with a good combination of materials like wood and concrete against a backdrop of white," shares Robertson. To achieve the look, they broke down the walls of two bedrooms, creatin...

Name: Fernando, Roberta and their 1 year old son Location: Pasadena, California The basics: 1 year, owned — 2,200 square feet After time in Switzerland, the UK and Seattle, Fernando and Roberta found themselves in Pasadena hunting for a home. A design enthusiast, Fernando jumped at the opportunity to remodel a basically untouched Spanish Colonial home in a perfect location. Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: My wife Roberta and I bought the house a little more than a year ago. We were relocating from Seattle to Pasadena, as we were both going to work at Caltech. I'm a professor of theoretical physics there and she is a human resource consultant . We are both originally from Brazil, and we lived in London for seven years and in Zurich for one year before moving to Seattle. I have always had a passion for interior design, and whenever I can I like to give it a try. I designed the remodel of our apartment in Brazil five years ago and I was...

The new owner of Stratford House promised to invest $3.5 million to expand services and upgrade the senior living facility when it changed hands in July 2016 — and on Tuesday, the top-to-bottom renovations at Commonwealth Senior Living at Stratford House were unveiled. The grand, old building — built in 1884 and added on to several times over during its life as a women’s college and senior living center — has fresh paint, new carpet, furniture and décor. And many rooms have been repurposed to make moving around to various activities easier for the residents while adding more amenities. Even residents’ apartments were renovated. The combination of independent living and assisted living apartments means residents in independent living apartments who need to move into quarters where intensive care is offered only move a short distance and are still in familiar surroundings. *** Resident Ed Smith joined Richard Brewer , CEO of the Commonwealth Senior Living facilit...

Italy is known for some of the best foods in the world. It's home to some of the greatest bread, pasta, gelato, and wine, as we all know, but there are a lot of other delicious dishes that are lesser known, yet equally amazing. This past summer I got the wonderful opportunity to study abroad in Italy, making my way around several parts of the country and trying a ton of amazing foods that honestly, I now wish I would've eaten more of. You simply have  to visit Italy at least once in your life — I insist. I understand that the number of food options can be overwhelming and you might be unsure what to eat in Italy. So, the following is a list that my fellow Spoon members and I have put together for you on 50 of the foods that you absolutely must try there (although, I'd certainly advise you try more if you can). 1. Tomatoes Tomatoes ( pomodori ) are a huge part of Italian food culture , as they're the backbone of the most terrific sauces, soups, salads, and more. The mos...
